Integrating acceleration signal processing and image segmentation for condition assessment of asphalt roads

A proactive road maintenance system enables agencies to better allocate resources to manage their road networks. An inventory of the roads’ conditions is an essential component of such a maintenance program. This research project proposes a hybrid system to assess the condition of the asphalt roads, which uses a dashboard-mounted smartphone to simultaneously collect the acceleration response of a vehicle and the video footage of the road surface...
